Unprepared divorce lawyer chased down client, stabbed the mother of 4 to death to stop case going to trial: Cops

Ohio authorities arrested a divorce attorney who they say murdered one of his clients because he did not want to go the case to trial.

Gregory Moore, now 51, allegedly chased down 53-year-old Aliza Sherman outside his downtown Cleveland law office in 2013 and stabbed her to death. The motive, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office alleges, was because Moore wanted to incapacitate her so Sherman’s divorce case wouldn’t go to trial as scheduled.
